Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. (PLRX) fully repaid its debt facility, making a voluntary payoff of $32.4 million on October 14, 2025 to settle all outstanding principal, accrued interest, fees and expenses under its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance. With receipt of the payoff, all obligations were discharged and the loan documents were terminated.

The agreement allowed up to $150 million in term loans; the company had borrowed $30 million. The loans bore a floating rate tied to 1‑month SOFR with a 3.5% add‑on plus 5.25%, subject to a floor of 8.75%.

PLRX extinguishes Oxford debt with a $32.4M payoff.

Pliant Therapeutics repaid $32.4 million on October 14, 2025, satisfying and terminating its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance. The company had drawn $30 million under a facility permitting up to $150 million in term loans.

The term loans accrued at a floating rate with a floor of 8.75% (1‑month SOFR or 3.5%, whichever was greater, plus 5.25%). Early payoff removes ongoing interest expense and loan covenants that would have continued until repayment, while scheduled principal payments were set to begin on July 1, 2028.

Cash outflow is immediate at $32.4 million. Future impact depends on operating cash generation and any replacement financing needs; the filing does not indicate a new borrowing.
